Gemalto also provides Nedbank with consulting services, device fulfilment to end users, and operates remote management of the tokens on behalf of Nedbank Ltd.
"We have implemented and operated Gemalto's PKI solutions for over ten years, with a very high level of success in providing secure electronic banking solutions. In an effort to offer best-in-class Wholesale Banking solutions to our business customers, we have deployed Gemalto's brand new PKI solution, launched as the Plug and Transact TokenTM, to differentiate ourselves from our competitors by offering secure solutions with enhanced client usability as well as improved tracking and business information."
